Who is responsible for the Construction Phase Pre-Construction Meeting?

• A. Shared
• B. CxA
• C. Contractor
• D. Architect

Answer: (A)

Coordinating the Construction Phase Pre-Construction Meeting is a collaborative effort between those guiding the commissioning process and those doing the on-site work. This meeting sets the stage for how systems will be tested, who leads each test, what data needs to be collected, and when tests occur. Because success depends on both the plan and the practical execution, responsibilities are shared: the commissioning authority brings the commissioning requirements, test procedures, and acceptance criteria; the contractor ensures equipment readiness, integration of controls, sequencing, and timely submittals. The owner and design team may participate to confirm expectations, but the core planning and execution hinge on joint participation. So the shared responsibility is the best fit, rather than blaming it on a single party.
